Excerpt from The Christian Century, Vol. 36: An Undenominational Journal of Religion, January 2, 1919In the ¿aming bush he found God. In the great silence God spoke to him. It is autumn as I write.

The great soul sees God in every sunrise, in every rose, in every child, in every harvest, in every moonlit night, in every towering peak, in every ocean wave, in every mas sive cloud turned golden by the sun. Yes, and let us add, in every war, in every disease, in every death, in every weed, in every valley, in every scum-covered pond, in every drouth, in every storm, in every dark and dismal night when the fog clings and the rain soaks, the great soul still sees God.

He became a leader.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
